Why was this an error? If we used [,] like Linux does - sure.
But we don't. The presentation, without looking at the source,
simply leaves open whether this was meant to be [,] or [,).
And it continues to be left open with the adjustment made.

Well, Linux's representation is not what is normally done in math
either.

It is like

  Xen: [mem 0x0000000000000000-0x000000000009efff] usable

Note it is using '-', not ','. And there is "mem" at the beginning.

I have always interpreted the [] pair as something to enclose the range,
not of mathematically meaning.

If you want, I can change Xen's format string to "[%016Lx, %016Lx]".

Wei.

I think this would make things less ambiguous, yes. But my primary
request here is to have neither "fix" nor "error" nor anything
alike in the title or description.

OK. I can certainly change the subject line to

  x86: subtract 1 when printing e820 ranges

If I hear no further objections I will commit this patch with the above
subject line today.
